If you think Southwest Florida International Airport is busy, you should check out Bernard's bedroom.

Delta has nothing on this man when it comes to takeoffs, landings and — ahem — layovers.

Bernard manages an impressively busy sex life thanks to a scheme involving a book of flight schedules, some precise planning and not one fiancee but three — all of them flight attendants.

When one beautiful flight attendant is taking off, another one is just landing. All three women are blissfully unaware of each other, and Bernard is deliriously happy — albeit probably quite tired.

It's all worked perfectly so far. What could possibly go wrong?

Oh, just you wait and see.

That's half the fun in The Off Broadway Palm's hilarious, fast-paced new comedy, "Boeing, Boeing:" watching the smug Bernard's master plan unravel after an old friend shows up unexpectedly and then all three fiancees get home early.

To borrow a famous movie phrase: Fasten your seat belts, it's going to be a bumpy night. For Bernard and his buddy Robert, anyway. But for the audience, it's a smooth ride full of manic energy, bedroom hijinks, spot-on comedic timing and a Samsonite suitcase's worth of laughs.

Director Paul Bernier and his ace cast whip things into a comic frenzy in this French farce set in the 1960s glory days of airline culture, back when flight attendants were called "air hostesses."

As Bernard and his Wisconsin buddy Robert, John Keckeisen and Sean Riley work themselves into a hyperventilating frenzy as they desperately run around the flat, jump over furniture and do everything they can to keep the fiancees from finding out the truth.

Riley is particularly funny with his bow-tied squareness and some impressively limber physical comedy. He'll crack you up just by the way he sits awkwardly on the couch, nervously trying to figure out where to put his hands.

Plus it's fun watching his sweater-vest-wearing, sexually inexperienced character finds himself in this "international harem" and barely able to restrain his giddiness.

Their co-conspirator in these sexual shenanigans is the put-upon French maid Berthe — brought to hilariously grumpy, humorless life by Kelly Legarreta. You'd be grumpy, too, if you constantly had to change out all the photographs in the flat and plan entirely different meals for Bernard's America, German and Italian fiancees.

Those fiancees are across-the-board funny, too: Alison Rose Munn as expansive American Gloria with her unusual taste in food, Amy Marie McCleary as passionate Italian sexpot Gabriella, and especially Katie Pankow as the intense, hyper-aggressive German Gretchen.

I loved Pankow in The Off Broadway Palm's last farce, "Nana's Naughty Knickers," and she goes for broke once again with Gretchen's over-the-top explosive delivery and mannish body language.

Throw all these characters together, and you're taking a nonstop flight to laughter. There's not a weak link in this well-oiled, high-flying comedy machine.

Sure, it's a little longer than your average farce – about 2½ hours with intermission. But think of it as one of those new airliners that play such an important part in the plot: It'll fly by so fast, you'll barely notice the time.
